Fleshin out more background characters in my AU fic for later chapters like I have with Medic and Thomas and a recent cut content video gave me ideas for Scout the boogie bot and Izzy the bobby bearhug

Scout I've decided was an older kid in Playcare and was a close friend with Matthew before he was 'chosen'. They were similar ages, though Scout had been there longer and had lost her parents in a car accident she wasn't part of. It gave her a slightly better idea of what he was going through than most other kids did and tended to play backup to his leader role.

Neither ran into Kevin much just by chance, the little they did see of him he seemed fine to them although Matthew caught some other kids setting him up to get in trouble once and put a stop to it.

After Matthew was taken Izzy arrived, probably younger than Jack when she got there, and instantly clung to Scout as big sister. Scout returned in kind and goes out of her way to care for and dote on her.

Scout though was also 'chosen' a little more than a year after Matthew and Kevin were, Izzy had a hard time in Playcare for the few months before she was as 'chosen' as well because she couldn't connect with anyone else the same way.

Scout and Izzy are dumped into the workyard/general population at the same time and Izzy does not handle things well. Scout would know that sobbing anywhere and scrambles to comfort her and convince her of who she is and that Izzy isn't alone. Doey overhears and oh shit this is one of my friends.

They all end up in trouble/punished because Izzy can't calm down enough to work, Scout wont leave her side, and Doey wont let the guards touch either one of them. But afterwards it makes things a little easier because Matthew knows he can trust scout, which means Jack and Kevin learn to trust her and she becomes one of the main people he talk to about the whole confusing experience of being three kids turned into one.

Cut content lines under the readmore that inspired me

Scout: Izzy, have you done what I asked you to? Gathered all your things?

Izzy: Oh, yeah! I’ve got my journal and my crayons and my dollys and my-

Scout: Good. Good I just wanted to make sure

Izzy: You. Y-you sound sad -

Scout: No! No. Just thinking…

Izzy: Thinking about what?

Scout: About everything to come, about our part in it.

Izzy: Oh...okay. Are we still gonna play our game later? Y-you promised we would-

Scout: *chuckles* I remember kiddo, and a good scout knows to keep her promises.

Izzy: Yes!

Scout: But finish up your tasks first please! Then my time is all yours.

Izzy: Okay! I’ll get them done quick! Super quick! You wont even see me doing them!

Scout: That better mean they’re actually getting done though *sigh*

If you find good fics of doey could you please make a fic rec list or please send me the links?

I'll do my best, the chapter is still relatively new so there aren't many good ones so far, or at the very least they're very early in development so I've only got the summaries to go off of. This one I think has the potential to be good-

Very few words and only one chapter so far, but is about if Jake's mother lived and came back to the factory for her kid. I'm a bit of a sucker for the monster getting human parental love trope, which considering this game, I'm surprised there's not more of. Or maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place.

[fangirloverlode]

So I found this, which is kiiind of what I was describing.

Does anyone know any RE1 aus where Wesker is working for umbrella, but STARS teaches him like. Love and compassion? Not in a romantic way. But like. What family actually is bc he was just a test subject to Oswald. So like,,,, (unknowingly) deprogramming Wesker with the power of friendship, triple-agent sort of thing. All that wonderful cheesiness. Bonus points if he’s desperately trying to keep his teammates alive in the mansion without outright betraying Umbrella, bonus bonus points if his situation comes to light while doing that. Even more bonus points if Rebecca’s his unofficial kid.

Asking for a friend.

What type of Play-Doh do you think Doey is made of ?

You know, when I think about the Hour of Joy, I remember the tape left back from Chapter 4, the ending. You know, where Pierre basically tells us that we're about to get shot or killed by one of the toys. Then I think to myself, if they had guns, and assuming they do, when the Hour of Joy started, why didn't some of the toys get shot ? I mean, I could see these not affecting Doey, but everyone else is a physical body. Why didn't any of the guards in the prison , like use any of the guns?

How are Matthew and Kevin mentally adjusting to now having a loving parent? It is speculated that Kevin came from abusive home before and Matthew's family died in an accident that he blames himself for and considering his age not many people would like to adopt him.

He seems to be something vaguely playdoh ish.

Thats a good question, I think it might be the same reason Susan doesn't have a gun or a knife as a weapon, it changes the dynamic too much. In universe i'm sure there could be some validation in how the toys are made that makes bullets less useful or just they cost too much to make and didn't want to risk collateral damage from stray bullets or the toys getting hold of them.

Matthew is pretending he's just happy for Jack getting his mom back and not over the moon himself about it. he's missed having a maternal figure so so much since he lost his own family he's absolutely ecstatic and wants nothing more than for her to like them and to keep her safe.

Kevin is indeed from an abusive family in this one and Jack and Matthew have spent the last 12 years sharing memories with him trying to make him understand that no, that was not normal or okay and you did NOT deserve to be treated that way. He's internalized some of it in how he acts with others but he's still very suspicious of Susan, the idea anyone would go through that much to find them is wild to him. He's willing to stand aside for their sake though and she's starting to grow on him.

[was-that-a-pun]

I'm writing Doey being reunited with his mom Susan and Kevin is like 'yeah of course its her fault she's a mom, moms fail you' while Jake and Matthew are like D8 ' wtf Kev no we've talked about this!'

SO workin on Love Him Till The Day That You Die and Medic's gettin some backstory.

typing wise I'm breaking a lot of what he says into around 5 word mini sentences to try to get the cadence across.

They're one of the the only adult-turned-toy in the place (none evil anyway) and had been a Playtime employee. But they had NO IDEA what was actually going on as they'd been hired as an on site doctor for workers comp when (normal) incidents happened in the factory.

They were caught up in one of Sawyers 'incidents' and instead of just letting him die and call it a day they scooped him up as another experiment.

He wasn't involved in the hour of joy, didn't know it was going to happen and while retaliation from the toys seemed inevitable he was deeply disturbed just like the others that they killed everyone.

The Safe Haven toys know who he was, although most have forgotten over the years or just don't really think about it much, they're just Medic now.

They've done what they can beyond medical care over the years, mostly offering advice and encouragement where they can, but their expertise lies in healthcare and they could never keep everything going in a leadership role the way Poppy and later Doey does. They can run an infirmary and that's about it.

He finds Susan frustrating and entertaining because he hasn't gotten to snark much with another adult-adult in a very long time (thomas is too easily exhausted to keep up banter) and she's yet another patient who keeps doing stupid stuff and not bothering to get it properly looked at.

Sneakin in characters in this fic to take a little bit of the burden off Doey taking care of everyone <3 Izzy (Bobby Bearhug, yes that one, and she's gonna live dangit) and Scout (another Boogie bot) are less detailed in the background cause they're orphans like the rest of the critters and have been helping to keep the defenses running and everything organized (and harass Doey into taking care of himself sometimes too)

[was-that-a-pun]

... There is a strong temptation to make a side fic au of my au where Susan finds the separated mini Doey's and gets to mom on them

>_>

[was-that-a-pun]

I'm enjoying writing this Doeys Mom lives fic so much but I'm SO impatient to get to game 4 in it so Susan can go full Bad Bitch with a Bat.

Gonna bunt Pianosaurus right out the park baybeee

Hey, remember how 2012 Casey is scared of rats?

On a completely unrelated note, wouldn't it be funny if Casey was mutated into a rat?

[was-that-a-pun]

Imagine if, with his mother's life on the line, Doey goes ballistic and just one-hit K-Os the Prototype. Then he kinda just stands there in horrified shock.

"I- We-we could've just- KILLED HIM ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS- Mom's ok. We can have dino nuggies now. :D "

"That's my boy!"

(Honestly I feel like Susan would hype her son up, "Kick his ass, dear. I know you can. Why else would he want you gone so bad and be so afraid as to have the employee do his dirty work for him?" Poppy would cry, because oh my god they could've done this years ago what the fu-)

I love this <3

Also she'd be taking pot shots at the prototype while he's getting his ass kicked X3c

Love Him Till The Day That You Die!

Dear Mr and Mrs Ayers, We can give him back to you. Your son Jack can live. It’s been 12 years since Susan Ayers lost her son to Playtime co, since their sabotaged reunion, and she's never stopped trying to get him back. Now She stands yet again at the doors of the factory prepared to venture into the depths one final time. They wont drag her back this time, Susan will find her son or die trying. An AU where Jack’s mom survives her meeting with Doey injured but alive and has a mission of her own concurrent with the players.

Surprising no one got side tracked while working on What Time Is It! when chapter 4 came out but in my defense I think I hit the VHS tone for Leither and Eddie right on the mark.

If anybody finds or makes anymore Doey lives/ happy Doey/ Doey gets his mom back tell me i want them alllll

[was-that-a-pun]

Why did I say Medic is the only adult- made-toy in safe haven when I can have Thomas the Bron there!

By the point the game starts he'd be the 73 year old, cancer survivor, haven grandpa spending his days in the storage room watching the kids read and thinking how much nicer this is than the small containment cell Playtime had him isolated in.

It's been a hard time but that Doey boy does a good job, yes he does.

[was-that-a-pun]

I have two thoughts; one of curiosity and one of me being evil and cruel.

1: If the Doey Dough in the vats at Play-Co is still intact, could he assimilate/incorporate it into himself? Then again, it might not mix with the sentient dough making up Doey. Plus he'd probably couldn't go near the vats without having flashbacks that could rival that of Vietnam.

2: What if. . . When Susan is out of sight/off doing something or when Doey is alone, the Prototype uses her voice against him/threatens her? Or did so over the years, if only to torture him?

I shall be rubbing my hands together evily, awaiting your response.

1) Ooohhhh I love that idea. Yes I think he could incorporate it into himself, I just imagine it's stored way up on the upper floors and at least in Love Him Till The Day That You Die I have them never making it back up into the factory any farther than playcare. He'd also definitely have some not so great memories of the area too for sure O_O I know my version of Susan when breaking in avoids that area like the plague for the same reason.

But If they did make it up there oooo DOEZILLA gonna get them out of there no problem! X3 Giant Doey just carrying everyone out in his palm

2) OOooooo that'd be so cruel, you deserve all the evil hand rubbings.

Cause until she shows up in safe haven Doey thought he'd killed his mom just like in canon but the Prototype, even if he hadn't had direct run in's with her in her multi year assault, would at least be aware of her and if they were able to put two and two together, watched her from afar for a bit, he could really mess with Doey's head.

Parroting things she'd said in solitude or to another toy as she's searching for him, in a voice that's steadily changing with age, and Doey is sure the Prototype is only doing it to prey on their guilt over her death then finding out years later it was mocking them about her being so close but so far.

After she shows up he could probably only get away with it once each, It'd pretend to be Susan in peril and Doey would panic and rush to protect her, but with so much force they'd immediately ditch the plan and bugger off. They do the same pretending to be Doey in trouble and you just hear the Kill Bill sirens XD

[was-that-a-pun]

I imagined Susan seeing Doey being froze and just screaming "My baby!" before losing her shit trying to turn the rusted valve to turn it off.

Imagine, before the pain and frost sets in, the last thing he hears is the horrified scream of his mother going "My baby!".

Or, if he's still conscious while frozen, also watches her desperately try to turn the valve while simultaneously having a mental breakdown because she doesn't know if her baby is ok oh god is he dead how could she let this happen-

Later, once facing The Doctor herself, with the most terrifying look and tone of voice an angry mother can have, she proclaims; "If there's anything left of your ass, Sawyer, it's mine."

SO ABOUT THAT!

Decided to add that specific snippet from the fic

The moment the pipe burst time stopped moving in a way that made sense.

He was laughing, pleased with their haul then he – he was just solid crystallized ice frozen in the moment of shock and pain as he’d tried to move away only able to utter a single pained gasp.

She knew she screamed, a desperate terrified “NOO!” That tore it’s way out of her as the box slipped from her hands.

She knew she ran, the same desperation fueling her, frantic to do something - anything - to help him.

She was, on some level, even aware of the Employee, expression shocked and horrified but staying where they were. Only their gaze going up, over, across. And in the seconds it took her to sprint the length of the room they’d fired the grab pack at something in the ceiling and yanked.

They were lucky, so very lucky that he had. She wasn’t usually one to act without thinking but the abject, gut-wrenching terror that after everything, after all these years searching she was going to lose him just like that- Her only thought had been to get between him and the thing causing him pain. Regardless of how little difference it would have actually made.

The frigid air burned against her shoulder even as it sputtered to a stop and to her eternal relief as soon as it did he started to thaw. One arm drooping and dragging at his feet as he staggered away from the spent trap whimpering "Hurts hurts hurts hurts hurts" as he stumbled.

Without the immediate threat of losing her son blinding her Susan could think a little more clearly, scrambling for the boxes of papers she’d passed, hauling them across the room closer to the corner Doey was huddled in and lighting a corner of the lid.

The Employee stood, looking uncertain if there was anything else they could do to help or if they should go.

She paused as she swung the pack off her shoulders, only long enough to lock eyes with the Employee and say a quick “Thank you” that still conveyed that he’d done all he could here, he could go, they would be fine.

"He's made it impossible for me to get around here. Traps like this are everywhere!” He seemed dazed as the last of the ice melted away, hunched and shivering, she doubted he remembered she was there as she tore open the little silver square of an emergency blanket.

“It's the cold that hurts...The big mean doctor knows that…” He sounded so small, so defeated. Her poor baby boy, how often had this been done to them?

“It's okay. You're okay. It's all okay..." He’d wrapped his arms around himself, trying to comfort the other parts of him even as he remained just as shaken.

He jumped as a sudden glimmer of silver flung into the air, crinkling as she stretched to tuck it around his shoulders. She wanted to coo soft reassurances like she had so long ago... but gentle voices -

She touched his elbow, waiting for him to focus on her, still sniffling. She blinked, realizing her face was wet with tears as well as she wiped them from his cheek.

Wherever and whatever Doctor Sawyer was he had better be counting his days because she wasn’t just going to kill him, she was going to make sure he suffered.

Everything hurt, his body was stiff and every tiny movement felt like he was going to crack into a million pieces. But there was a blanket over his shoulders, and a fire beginning to crackle close by and his mother/their mother/our mother was looking up at them with so much love and concern.

“It’s okay. It's all okay” She whispered his own comforting words back to him, and he actually felt like he believed them this time.

He let the exhaustion win, curling up on the metal floor by the fire, head in her lap as she hummed absent melodies and kept watch.

[was-that-a-pun]

Okay, I have this headcanon, where due to the fact that Doey's body is made entirely out of dough, and the fact his body was basically torn up and then stitched back together in tiny tiny pieces. He's basically a living breathing cell at this point. So he breathes to his skin though that does beg the question is he affected by the poppy gas?

Right now I think at least as far as Love Him Till The Day That You Die goes he can be but that's mostly so I can have a dramatic scene later on of him having to hold his breath long enough to get Susan out of the maze after she succumbs to it
